“Dawn, I’ to spank your ass if you keep up the silent act”

Her lips twitched “I’ll be sure to pretend I don’t like it I’d hate to spoil all your fun”

She could still remember his voice, the scent of his need, the expression on his face when h

e told her she didn’t have to return to Sanctuary As though a part of him had been as hesitant as she was to tip the balance of the tenuous relationship developing between them

“As long as she doesn’t get in a car with him,” Dash snapped

“It’s a small island, Dash,” Seth chuckled “We don’t keep cars, only a few ATVs”
